Abstract
Pancharatnam's geometric phase is introduced for such nonlinear dissip ative systems as lasers and liquid flows. Two types of geometric; phas es are shown to arise in these systems: the phase induced by the inner dynamics of the system and the one caused by the cyclic and adiabatic variation of the system parameters. A possible generalization of the geometric-effects theory in other dissipative systems is discussed.
